The Storm

The storm is coming
The fire burning
The winds of change are here
There is no returning
Autocrats pushing corporate statism
Cannibalize each other fighting over
you, me, everything
Who gets the right to slowly bleed
You and me build the industry
Without compliance they're left with nothing
Replace the assembly line
Indoctrination's begun
We're taking back what's rightfully ours
The end of them is our new start
The storm is coming
The ground keeps flooding
Like the air we all are free tied down by nothing
Kleptocrats buying our approval
The people's wealth under their control
You, me, all we bleed
goes to grease this oppressive machine
You and me are everything
Without compliance they're left with nothing
Fresh off the assembly line
We are all commodified
We're taking back what's rightfully ours
The end of them is our new start
They're coming for me, will you speak out
They fill prisons for profit
You say nothing
They're coming for me, will you speak out
Our neighbor's die in the streets
You say nothing
Obedience is the same as pulling the trigger
Submission in the name, protecting the killer
There's no turning back
We're at the gates it's no time to relax
There's no turning back
We can sit back down after the collapse
This was built
It can be undone
Born of men
This can be undone

Bite the Hand
03:21
|
|||
Back and forth, around the sun again
Four more years, stuck in a delusion
Pick a team, win another race
We all lose, no winners in this game
They lie, they cheat, out for themselves
Fighting over who gets to take
and steal, from me and you
Bite the hand that bleeds you
The illusion of choice is how they oppress
We're collateral damage in our own conquest
They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor
Distract us with division, they are the circus
How much more, can we fucking take
Every day, until we fucking break
It's the same, either fucking way
Left or right, misery remains
They lie, they cheat, and take from us
everything that we work for
They fight for the lion's share
There's a price on our heads
The illusion of choice is how they oppress
We're collateral damage in our own conquest
They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor
Distract us with division, they are the circus
Rob a bank, redistribute into our hands
Take it back, a world of stolen land
Bring it down, every last prison
Dismantle our racist institutions
Molotovs burn down wall street
There has to be something more than this
beyond control of the capitalist
There has to be something more than
This, is no way to survive, fighting every day for our lives
The tables will fucking turn, when this republic burns
Back and forth, around the sun again
Another year, another delusion
Sit back and look the other way
while they continue to tighten our restraints
They lie, they cheat, they're living by
a different set of fucking rules
Like vultures they fight for the scraps
Picking meat off our bones
The illusion of choice is how they oppress
We're collateral damage in our own conquest
They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor
Distract us with division, they are the circus
Nothing stops, nothing ends, nothing breaks if we sit by
Living this, endless loop, every day, another boot
Nothing stops, nothing ends, nothing breaks if we sit by

I Can Do Better
04:14
|

I'm stuck in debt and behind on rent
I'll never catch up
I want to go and find my landlord's house
Show them what it's like to be thrown out
I want to take revenge on everyone
that makes a living off of me
The days are bought and sold
The nights are long and cold
This world will beat you down
but I can do better cuz
I know that nothing ever stops
There's always more work
I'm always on the clock
I owe money, bills keep stacking up
I'll never catch up
I want to go burn down my local bank
Remove the boot off my neck
I want to take revenge on everyone
that makes a living off of me
The days are bought and sold
The nights are long and cold
This world will beat you down
but I can do better cuz
I know that nothing ever stops
There's always more work
I'm always on the clock
Loss for me is a familiar face
Nothing will hurt when you're expecting pain
All I know, how it feels to fail
Taking a hit over and over again
These bones will break
It feels like I lost a fight
that I didn't even know took place
Forever I am haunted by
the ghosts of my mistakes
It seems like I'll never climb
out of this empty hole
There's no one that I can blame
I'm holding the shovel
It's easy to get angry when everything seems empty
Choking on my own debris while the world rewards cheating
It's easy to medicate, hide from everything I hate
Poison that keeps me healthy, balance to stay on my feet
Sometimes I just want to watch it burn
It's a distraction so that I can finally breathe
Sometimes I just want to tear it down
Tear it fucking down
Injuries heal misery fades and scars remain
Tomorrow will come, and bring along a new set of problems
Behind again, kicked to the street
I'll never catch up
I want to go set fire to city hall
Rebuild a system that works for us all
I want to take revenge on everyone
that makes a living, off of me

Static Contagion
03:16
|
|||
Nothing ever changes
Static is contagious
Comfort of the same
Our past born in hate
The end right where we begin
The time is now the day today we face our sins
The last excuse has been made
The exorcism of our ghosts begins today
Everything we've learned is a fucking lie
The vicious are victorious
The truth they rewrite
Everything we're taught is meant to deceive
Control is easier when you don't know what to believe
There's no tomorrow until we face yesterday
There's no catharsis if you don't face the pain
The air, putrid stagnant
The wind has no passion
The warmth of the fire
Safety from a funeral pyre
The end where we start again
Rome always burns, the crown will fall, regimes give in
The last whisper of the past
will go silent when it falls on deaf ears en masse
Everything we've learned is a fucking lie
The vicious are victorious
The truth they rewrite
Everything we're taught is meant to deceive
Control is easier when you don't know what to believe
There's no tomorrow until we face yesterday
There's no catharsis if you don't face the pain
We can't continue this path
Get uncomfortable, nothing ever lasts
Everything that you think you know is apocryphal
It's the undertow
We can't run from ourselves
We can't hide from this hell

Bread and Roses
02:35
|
|||
We are born with no home, all alone
Naked as we came
A blank page, with no words, yet to learn
Ghosts of our past remain
Nothing's set in stone, everything is overturned
There's no down the road when today continues to burn (we burn)
When I'm losing blood, pain from what I love
I remember that I am not by myself
Wake each day in the same endless loop
Running in place
We were taught different walks, but we all
end in the same fate
Plans are meant to break, everything is incomplete
There's no future when, now is not a guarantee
When I'm losing blood, pain from what I love
I remember that I am not by myself
Hey, you and me
We're in this trench, side by side
Hey, we are fighting against the same thing
Hey, we are both struggling
We're in this hole, side by side
Hey, our backs are against the same wall
Hey, united we stand divided we fall
This is not the only way
When the sun goes away, falls and dies
Reborn the next day
Not too late for a change, second chance
No gods no masters
No gods no masters
